Erol Bulut's backroom staff as one Cardiff City coach likely to exit and the state of play with out-of-contract players

Erol Bulut will have three members of his coaching staff join him at Cardiff City with Dean Whitehead likely to depart for Watford, but a conversation is to be had with Sol Bamba over his future.

Bulut will bolster his team with three additions to the dugout, with Steve Morison, Mark Hudson, Graham Stack and Sabri Lamouchi all having left the club last season.

Whitehead's old boss, Valerien Ismael, has taken the reins at Watford and in all likelihood it appears the former midfielder will join him at Vicarage Road. But with regards to Bluebirds fan favourite Bamba, who returned with Lamouchi in January, nothing seems to be set in stone just yet.
